Profile summary

Professional biography

See http://www.open.ac.uk/personalpages/s.sherlock/index.shtml for a more detailed profile.

I hold a permanent Faculty position (Senior Research Fellow) in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences here at the Open University, and lead the the Ar-Ar and Noble Gas Research Group and Laboratory.

My research is argon-centric and entirely laser-based; my interests mainly lie within the realm of technique development and application, as a means to extracting information about processes or events that generally resist arrest when it comes to conventional bulk sampling methods.

My current preoccupation is to find new ways in which we can increase the spatial resolution of Ar/Ar laserprobe dating to extract new information from rocks and minerals. Through this I and colleagues are investigating the diffusion mechanisms of argon in feldpsars, understanding the behaviour of argon durinbg friction melting, the uptake of excess argon in mudrocks and their attendant strain-fringes, the timing of fluid-rock interaction through dating authigenic alkali feldspars, dating meteorite impact craters, the behaviour of argon in volcanic glasses, and most recently in basalts. All using Ar/Ar laserprobe methods.

I also foster collaborative and commercial Ar/Ar dating opportunities and welcome any enquiries. We have a long client list that includes Geological Surveys (British, Denmark & Greenland, Polish, Spanish, Turkish, Faroe Islands), oil and gas exploration (e.g. Petrobras, DougalEarth, ExonnMobil, SINDRI consortium, Statoil, Petroleum Directorate of Oman, Morton Associates, Corelab, Chemostrat, Ichron, Fugro Consulting), civil engineering (RIZZO Associates) and more than 20 university departments in Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, South Africa, India, Asia, North America, South America. See link above for more details.
